Finally, A Google Contacts API
I have been hoping for this for a while now. I really want a way to sync all of my contacts online with my devices and computers and it looks like we may be one step closer to that with the release of the Google Contacts API today.
From Google:
The Google Contacts Data API allows you to own your own contact data. We expect the API to be useful for a big range of applications. For example, developers can use it to:
- Import a user's Google contacts into their web or desktop application
- Export their application's contact list to Google
- Write sync applications for mobile devices or popular, desktop-based contact management applications
Hopefully the API works well and starts to get integrated into software. I can't wait to have a single source of contact information.
